my guess is that people just starting out are not expected to be able to recruit all t1 and do all t1 event objs, and recruit both t2 and do all t2 objectives to be able to even start t3
wouldn't it require the t3 talent and that means having reached some level.

if on the other hand you mean long time players that have not done an event yet, then you have to work it. p.s. 33,000 is nothing to do with all the objectives, its an achievement and includes several, many, efp's. an event is perhaps 100+500+1000+2500+2500+2500 for t1 and similar for t2 and i assume similar for t3. and a 2 week period without warps generates 40,320 idols so with objectives that leaves alomst 6 efp's unless things are different.

but why cater to the one or two people this might apply to. most people will only be doing t3's or at most some t2;s also

you want to be technical, but you neglected to notice that i intentionally overstated the tokens need of one tier of an event by 2500, so those account for one being able to do 2 more efp;s

I don't know what CNE's intent is/was, but I don't see how my experience was dominated by that intent. I started in mid-March, about 6 months ago, and I have had no problem unlocking every crusader of all available tiers since the first crusader that I unlocked: The Bat Billionaire. That's 38 crusaders in 10 events, since Yogicast was new and only had a single tier. (I unlocked two or three of the Tier 1 crusaders via missions, but this actually meant I had to do an additional FP due to the lack of spending the tokens for the unlock objective. There was no real challenge in any of the objectives and I had to do all Tier 2 objectives.)

I have hope that I will be able to continue to unlock all crusaders, especially if there is only one Tier 3 crusader instead of 2 like the lower tiers.

If I can leave behind, break out of, the "new player" moniker in less than 1 month, then no one can convince me that most players will take anywhere near a year to do the same.

Were I starting today, yes, I would not expect to be able to do Tier 3 event objectives for two or more months and I would understand needing to wait a two or more weeks to be able to do Tier 2 event objectives. However, I would be put off if I was told that I must wait a full year before I was allowed to attempt Tier 2 event objectives and a second year to do Tier 3 event objectives, given that, as it stands now, this seems to be an artificial/intellectual barrier.

If CNE is serious about impeding the ability of "new players" to achieve event objectives beyond Tier 1, then they need to make those objectives much harder or implement some timer to enforce the delay they intend. As it stands now, there is no challenge in any event objective for anyone who as played for more than a year and minimal challenge for those who've played more than 3 months. The challenge is to get everything done within the time allowed and tokens dropped for those players that are starting from "square one", if they were unable to participate in the event the previous year.

@Raymond,
I'm not concerned with how many FPs I get or must do, so I don't care what the cost of the objectives is, so long as their total is less than or equal to the achievement amount, which has been the case for Tier 1 and 2.
